Most users of Oracle E-Business Suite need to extend the applications with a multitude of technologies: From modern APEX applications over established UI technologies such as Oracle Application Framework (OAF)/Forms and reporting tools such as Oracle Reports or BI Publisher, down to Oracle Workflow customizations or plain PL/SQL or Java concurrent programs. Managing the source code and installing these customizations manually is challenging, error-prone, and often frustrating. With many “modern” development platforms, this process is typically facilitated nowadays by using automation through CI/CD and a DevOps platform. The session will demonstrate these (free) tools and show how they can be used to accelerate the entire procedure and reduce errors with very limited efforts and costs.
Learning Objective 1: Understand how Git and popular DevOps platforms such as GitLab can be integrated into an E-Business Suite Development process in a best practice manner.
Learning Objective 2: Understand how custom database schemes and APEX can be handled as well using the Liquibase implementation built-in into SQLcl.
Learning Objective 3:See Lessons Learned during many years while using such a process in various E-Business Suite environments and how this helped achieving better quality releases.
